Four (4) of Jesus’ Thought-Provoking Questions
- Isn’t life more than food or clothing?
- Who do you say that I am?
- Why do you keep on saying that I am your Lord, when you refuse to do what I say?
- You do not want to go away also, do you?
Jesus often asked questions:
- not because He didn’t know or wasn’t sure about the answers,
- but to provoke others to careful thought – to cause people to think very seriously about something.
